Market analysts’ consensus outlook for the upcoming year seems rather subdued, with earnings climbing by a single digit 0.40%. The growth outlook in the following year seems much more optimistic with rates reaching double digit 32.20% compared to today’s earnings, and finally hitting UK£29.31m by 2021.
Although it’s useful to be aware of the growth rate year by year relative to today’s figure, it may be more valuable determining the rate at which the earnings are moving on average every year. The benefit of this method is that it ignores near term flucuations and accounts for the overarching direction of Sanne Group’s earnings trajectory over time, which may be more relevant for long term investors. To compute this rate, I’ve appended a line of best fit through the forecasted earnings by market analysts. The slope of this line is the rate of earnings growth, which in this case is 17.68%. This means, we can expect Sanne Group will grow its earnings by 17.68% every year for the next few years.
